Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 dash pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Prepare Tilapia: Rinse the tilapia fillets under cool water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Arrange Fillets: Place the tilapia fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer for even cooking.
- Add Flavor: Pour the fresh lemon juice evenly over the fillets, then drizzle the melted butter on top. Sprinkle the finely chopped garlic, dried parsley flakes, and a dash of pepper evenly over the fish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the fish turns white and flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt or lemon zest on top before baking.
- Tilapia can also be grilled for a smoky taste if preferred.
- Make sure not to overcook the fish to keep it moist and tender.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete healthy meal.
